The 10-round bout, co-promoted by his Badou Jack Promotions and Probellum, will be on the D4G VIP Invite Only event at the Dubai Business Park.

“My main objective is to become a Three-Division World Champion and it starts this Friday in Dubai” said Jack from this recent training camp in Dubai.
“Samuel Crossed is the first person in my way of that goal. I trained really hard and can’t wait to put on a show for my fans here in Dubai.”
?
“Badou has always wanted to fight in the UAE in front of his massive fan base there” Badou Jack Promotions CEO Amer Abdallah stated. “This is Badou’s first fight moving up, so after a successful initial bout God Willing, Badou will start targeting titleholders in the cruiserweight division”.

With the recent news of Canelo Alvarez stepping up to Cruiserweight to challenge WBC Champion Ilunga Makabu, the possibility of an Alvarez vs Jack showdown is openly welcomed by Team Jack. “Everything is possible and if that fight ever happened, we’d love to do that fight in the Middle East with our partners here” Abdallah added.

Washington, D.C. (February 4, 2020)—On Friday, February 28, 2020, Greenbelt, Md., native Sam “The Vanilla Gorilla” Crossed (9-0, 5KOs) will face the toughest test of his boxing career when he squares off with Baltimore’s “Slick” Nick Kisner (21-5-1, 6KOs). The 10-round matchup for the vacant Maryland Cruiserweight Championship is presented by Jeter Promotions and will take place at the world class Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Md. The bout will serve as the chief support for the main event between super middleweights Demond Nicholson (22-3-1, 20KOs) and Mike Guy (12-4-1, 6KOs).

“It is a huge fight for me that could really change my career,” Crossed said. “A win over Nick puts me in position to fight on the world stage and I am not taking this opportunity for granted.”

While this will be their first sanctioned bout, it will not be the first time Maryland pugilists have faced each other as they have sparred hundreds of rounds preparing each other for different opponents throughout their respective careers. 

“We know each other very well,” the Greenbelt native said. “I have spent a ton of time in the ring with Nick over the years but this time we aren’t going to be wearing headgear and 16oz gloves.

“This isn’t going to be a sparring session and I plan to go out there and show how much I have improved from the fighter I was when I made my debut.”

The fan favorite Crossed hopes his 2020 is better than his 2019, a year in which he had a plethora of fights fall out due to issues beyond the fighter control.

“Last year was very frustrating; I had so many fights fall out,” Crossed explained. “I never lost focus though, and I feel great heading into this one.”

The Jeter Promotions card will be the first for the wildly popular Crossed’s bout at Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Md., which is just minutes from where the former Roosevelt High School football and baseball standout grew up.

“When I started this journey I figured I would have few pro bouts and then move on with my life,” the undefeated boxer stated. “To be in a position to fight for the Maryland Cruiserweight Championship in just my tenth fight in front of my hometown crowd at a venue like Live! Casino & Hotel is kind of surreal.”

Crossed previously fought on a Jeter Promotions card in 2018 and hopes to continue the relationship with world-class Maryland-based boxing promoter. 

“I would like to thank Tony and Christin of Jeter Promotions for the opportunity to fight on a platform like this and for a title at this early stage of my career,” Crossed said. “ I would also like to thank my sponsors for this fight Cloakroom D.C. and Jersey Mike’s.”

Washington, D.C.(Sept. 4, 2019) — On Saturday, Sept. 14, Sam “The Vanilla Gorilla” Crossed (8-0, 5KOs) will return to the ring for the first time this year in a six-round bout when he takes on 33-fight veteran Edgar Perez.  The match will take place at the Dulles Sportsplex on Sterling, Va., just outside the Nation’s Capital.  the card, titled “Countdown to the Commonwealth”, is promoted by Cory Sanders of CyNation Sports in association with Greg Cohen Promotions.

“Perez has been in there with a lot of good guys and always comes to fight,” Crossed said.  “If I can get him out early, that would be great, but if I get some rounds in, that wouldn’t be bad either.”

Perez has faced top-notch competition throughout his career.  Perez will be the 15th undefeated fighter the Puerto Rican warhorse has faced in the squared circle, seven of whom he took the distance including a win over former light heavyweight prospect Lavarn Harvel, who was 13-0, 7KOs, when Perez handed him his first defeat, putting him on the canvas twice in rounds one and three.

Crossed was scheduled to face cruiserweight gatekeeper Larry Pryor on May 19, but due to circumstances beyond his control, the bout was scrapped just before the card was set to begin in Washington, D.C.  Although he was devastated that he was unable to ply his trade, Crossed said he didn’t let it slow him down.

“I felt terrible for my fans when my fight was canceled at the last minute.  I felt like I let everyone down,” Crossed said.  “I have stayed in the gym just waiting for an opportunity to get back in the ring, and I want to make it up to everyone with a great performance.

“I am working with Billy Robin, and I feel the best I have in my career.”

The D.C. area fan favorite will be fighting at a catchweight of 185 pounds for this bout as he moves down to the light heavyweight division.  This will be the lowest contracted weight at which the power punching Greenbelt, Md., native has ever competed.

“I have been fighting at my walk around weight my entire career,” Cross said.  “My next fight I plan to come in around 180 and then keep working my way down to 175 pounds.”

The promotional free agent, Crossed, has stated that would like to fight at least twice more before the years end.

“I want to thank Cory Sanders and CyNation Sports for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card,” Crossed said.  “This is my first time fighting in Virginia and on the CyNation card, hopefully we can keep this going.”

“I want to be as active as possible, I haven’t fought since December and I am dying to get back in there.”
